Patrick Riley

I am a Renaissance man who enjoys Beethoven and The Allman Brothers Band. I have an ecclectic association with the advertising and marketing disciplines having both worked on the client and agency side throughout the course of my career. This gives me insight and perspective to better appreciate the discipline of advertising and the applications by medium for marketing.
I have been a leader all my life and enjoy aspiring and motivating teams to accomplish great things. To that end, I challenge clients to develop more innovative and creative solutions to their business models. I also am a businessman who understands gross margins, how to calculate and arrive at ROI for investors and clients, but most importantly the creative environment I find in agency life and the potential to deliver jaw-breaking results through intelligence and execution of basic fundamental principles of advertising, to me, gets my juices flowing even more than a Venti Mocha latte.
I am comfortable with and have flown on corporate jets consulting and leading C-level executives and I am equally at home scribbling on a napkin at Starbucks with a new idea. I also am a proven and gifted presentor comfortable in a hall with 5,000 people or face-to-face with a CEO. I also have invested in my education and have graduate degrees and accrediation with professional academic organizations to qualify me to teach and guide staff as well as clients. Plus, I am intensely curious about the world, politics, science and nature. Get me in a room to pitch business and I guarantee you I will get it....
